Romance Writers Weekly ~ Research! ~ #LoveChatWrite

 This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "What research do you do for your books?"

Ooh. Good question. It completely depends on what I'm writing about. Sometimes I write about things I have experience with, other times I'll talk to people who do. With some ideas I might have to read up on a subject. I don't usually do a huge, enormous, in-depth amount of research on a subject because that's a rabbit hole that might never end. I could spend years researching details that might never even make it into the book, and frankly, I'd rather not do that. There are too many books to write. And I don't have the time to become an expert in everything that interests me.

Now, hop on over to  Brenda Margriet's page, And find out how she researches her books. And don't forget to check out her book After Words! 

After Words

A mysterious diary ignites a shared quest…and an unexpected romance.

 

Leeza Boychuk is battling to save a failing business, furious at her philandering ex-husband, and devastated her son has put an ocean between them. The heartbreaking diary she discovers in her grandfather’s effects becomes more than a distraction from the disaster that is her life—it becomes a chance to right a decades-old wrong.

 

Determined to return the journal to the soldier’s family, she enlists the help of Gavin Fletcher, an enigmatic widower. His calm steadfastness is soothing to Leeza’s tattered soul, until a soul-searing kiss kindles a longing she isn’t ready to explore.

 

But Leeza can’t abandon her quest…even if it means confronting her feelings for this increasingly intriguing man.

 

(Based on a real-life diary)

Touch of a Vanished Hand

Oberon, Book 5

Sinead Quinn has always been something of a drifter.   But now, with her ex-husband trying to blackmail her, and her ex-boyfriend's widow trying to put her in jail, she has no choice but to go to ground.  What better place to hide than with your family?   After all, what are sisters for?  Especially when you're a twin.

 

But the first rule of hiding out, is to keep a low profile.  And that does not mean kissing your sister's boyfriend (even if he can't tell the two of you apart); rescuing a troubled teen; or taking a highly visible job as hostess of Oberon's most celebrated new inn.

 

 Adam Sasso has always dreamed big.  But big dreams beget big complications.  First, his goal to turn the vineyard he inherited from his grandfather into a world-class winery is threatened by a mysterious saboteur.  Next, his plan to run the finest bed & breakfast Oberon has ever seen, is broadsided by a hostess who wants to run him.  Finally, it seems his fondest wish, of finding love-everlasting with the soul mate of his dreams, is about to go up in smoke when he can't convince her that they're destined to be together.

 

 This summer, it's going to take all the wizardry in Oberon to craft a happy ending for the drifter and the dreamer.
